About

The Lancaster Story Slam, which began in January, 2015, is the brainchild of Carla Wilson. Carla was a fan of the West Chester Story Slam and approached WC Story Slam founder Jim Breslin with the idea of starting a story slam to Lancaster. The two met in the summer of 2014 and discussed modeling Lancaster Story Slam on West Chester Story Slam.

Carla Wilson, co-founder and event producer, is the co-owner of Wilson Media Services with her husband David. She provides internet marketing and media production support to entrepreneurs and businesses. Carla has been a loyal audience member and occasional judge at the West Chester Story Slam. A native of Lancaster County, Carla has recently returned to the area and currently lives in Lititz, PA.
